Los Angeles, CA (Sports Network) - Patrick Kane scored the decisive goal in the third period and Corey Crawford made 21 saves to lead Chicago to a 2-1 victory over Los Angeles at Staples Center.

Crawford withstood a lot of late pressure and shots to win his fourth consecutive start. Patrick Sharp also scored for the Blackhawks, who have won two in a row to end their six-game road trip at 4-2-0.

Jonathan Quick stopped 21-of-23 shots for the Kings, who have dropped three in a row and six of seven. Anze Kopitar netted LA's lone goal.

After a scoreless first period, Sharp got the Blackhawks on the board with his 15th goal of the season, a wrister at the 10:36 mark of the second period.

Kane's tip-in made it a 2-0 game at 1:06 of the third before the Kings cashed in on a 5-on-3.

Jonathan Toews earned a roughing double-minor at 13:22, and Dave Bolland was called for high-sticking only 32 seconds later. About a minute into the two- man advantage, Kopitar snapped a shot by Crawford.

But the Chicago goaltender held steady the rest of the way, securing his team's fourth consecutive win over LA.
